Bulb Advice

Hi, I've just received some H7 bulbs from t8ups. Gone about fitting them this morning and turned them on and they started smoking, I could smell a burning smell. I've turned them off now, anybody any idea what's hapoened? I've PM'd t8ups but thought I'd ask on here whilst awaiting his reply, thanks

Spoke to t8ups, he says the burning is the silver paint on the end of the bulbs and after 30 seconds they will be fine. Anybody used the 100w H7 bulbs from t8ups? Any problems? I'm still kind of worried about them melting but if he says they will be ok then I'll obviously take his word as he knows a lot more than me about the bulbs, just wondering if anybody else is using them without any problems? Thanks

Running 80s with no probs. U may also get a bit of lens burn on first use but it'll be fine after a few mins.

Yep they're the same ones, saw my arse yesterday and instantly pulled them out. They seemed to be melting on the ends so assumed the wattage was to high as the standard ones in there were 55w, I shall fit them back in today then. Can't believe I've got to go through it again, was awkward enough the first time...
Thanks mate
